DISASTER MANAGEMENT USING MULTI-HOP ADHOC WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK AND IOT

Abstract: Natural disaster, as we know is too unpredictable in nature. We cannot bring the occurrence of natural disaster under our control. What all we can do is to minimize the disastrous after-effects of a natural catastrophe by initiating a rescue operation as fast as possible in the affected area. In this paper, we have proposed the Multi-Hop Ad-hoc Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and the Internet of Things (IOT) to build up a system that would detect the kind of disaster and then inform the disaster management team. The system would notify the disaster management team about the location, kind and scale of the disaster. The faster the disaster management team gets the information, the more accelerated will be the relief action. A faster evacuation process will help to curtail down the loss of life and property.
